High-speed video reveals how honey bee stingers pump venom
New high-speed video footage shows that honey bee stingers work as a double-piston venom pump, with the barbed mechanism driving venom into a victim through rapid alternating movements. The finding offers fresh detail on how bees deliver so much venom despite the tiny size of their stingers.
Why now: A newly published study combining high-speed video with stinger mechanics is being shared as an engaging piece of animal-biomechanics science
